Product Updates: Heartbeat Mobile Dashboard and More

It’s been a little while since you last heard from us about product updates, but don’t let that fool you – we’ve been working diligently behind the scenes to make Heartbeat and MAP even better – easier to use and more relevant to your work. Today’s announcements are just a start.

Some of the tricks up our sleeves include new features like in-place query editing in MAP, the ability to “Like” Facebook posts directly from Heartbeat and, most exciting of all, the Mobile Heartbeat Dashboard.

Keep reading for a full list of our latest updates.

Heartbeat Mobile Dashboard

Heartbeat has always been accessible by any mobile device. However, with more and more professionals constantly on the go and using their mobile devices as their primary access to information, we’ve given your Heartbeat dashboard a look more suited to the medium. Now, Heartbeat users can glance at their brand’s dashboard while on the go and quickly view their important information for the past 7, 14 or 30 days in an easy-to-read-and-understand format.

Let’s face it, not every fan post to your Facebook page or comment on one of your posts is going to require a full response. However, it’s always nice to let your fans know that you saw what they did and appreciate it. That’s why we’ve now given you the ability to “like” their actions directly from the Facebook tab in Heartbeat.

Previously, you could leave comments on a post from within Heartbeat, but now we’ve given you the ability to “like” what fans are doing as well. Right beside the post in Heartbeat you will see the thumbs-up symbol from Facebook. Just click on the icon to like the post on your Facebook Fan Page, in turn, showing your fans that you “like” them too.

Better Customization for Email Alerts in Heartbeat

Heartbeat’s email notifications are a great way to stay in touch and know what’s happening in social media around your brand. For those of you who use the Daily or Weekly email alerts (either under the “Your Heartbeats” – “Subscribe by Email” link on the bottom of the page OR via “Settings” – “Email Subscriptions”), we’ve given you a new way to get those alerts when you want them the most.

Previously, Daily or Weekly email notifications were only shown in Eastern Standard Time. Well, EST is no longer the standard. You can now customize Daily and Weekly email alerts to come in at the time you want them – such as in your own local time. When you set up a Daily or Weekly email alert now, select the time you’d like to receive the email and then beside it select the time zone in which you live. This way, the email alerts will always come in exactly when you want them to.

Click Through to Your Top Influencers from the Heartbeat Dashboard

Ever want to know more about your brand’s top 5 influencers that you see on the right hand side of your Heartbeat dashboard? Now you can click directly on the influencer and be taken to his or her page, be it a Twitter page, blog, news site or something else.

Enhanced Edit In-Place MAP Queries

It’s never been difficult to edit a query in MAP, but we’ve made it even easier. Now instead of having to click on the “Modify” query button and enter your new query into the text box, you can simply click on the large display of your query and start editing. Just a simple enhancement to make your experience using MAP even easier than before.

That’s all for this round of updates, but keep your eyes out for more amazing updates we have planned in the very near future.
